Statefans Nation has a well-written rant on hating UNC centering on a basketball victory in 1998.

Enjoy. Link to blog entry (that will generate more traffic than that site will know what to do with) Statefans Nation has a well-written rant on hating UNC centering on a basketball victory in 1998.

Head coach Roy Williams gets stitches after an accidental fall

AEM posted 1/12/2008 from mvn.com

For Heels like myself, that don’t get the local shows, when we hear that someone from North Carolina is going to be on a national show we make sure to tune in.
